mexico and attempting to enter the united states without going through our legal processes. we responded by using and ensuring there are two safe and lawful ways for someone leaving the country to come to america. that was one of the reasons you were proposing. first, if they are seeking asylum, they can use an app on their phone called cbpone. that s to spell it out. not the number 1. to schedule an appointment at a port of entry and make their asylum claim there without crossing the border unlawfully and have a decision determined by an asylum officer, do they qualify? second, in october we worked with the mexican government to launch a new parole program. there s another program you know it but the public may not. it immediately showed results by reducing the number of people crossing the border unlawfully. the way this parole program works, one must have a lawful sponsor here in the united states who agrees to sponsor you to get here. then that person has to go good
in this moment it s unclear if there is any concession they will accept beyond kevin mccarthy taking his name out of consideration. unclear if the house adjourns as soon as it gavels in or the opposition is going to force mccarthy to stomach another vote and likely public humiliation. cnn s capitol hill team is tracking every development on very little sleep. let s check in with manu raju. manu, mccarthy allies remain worried and now they re worried that they might even begin to hemorrhage even more support on a potential fourth ballot. yeah, that s been the reason why there have been active suggests to try to delay today s vote, move to adjourn the house immediately as they come into session at noon. but here s the problem. they don t have the votes to do that and i just talked to two republican members of the leadership team who just left kevin mccarthy s office, richard hudson and tom emmer. both said the vote will happen at noon. they expect that to happen and the reaso
reporter: all of these options are thorny. if they go to another round of balloting, it s not clear i would be surprised if mccarthy were able to peel off the number of people that he needs from this 20 no vote coalition on his side to actually become speaker on this next ballot. what we are hearing is that the mccarthy team could go for a motion to adjourn until tomorrow. you are right, that would buy them time. it would save them another round of embarrassment if he were to lose on this fourth ballot. as i was walking over here, i tried to find some key members of that 20 no vote coalition to ask if they would support that motion to adjourn. right now, democrats have said they will not represent republicans do that. they are whipping against that motion. republicans would have to go it alone. they would not be able to pass that motion to adjourn unless some of these 20 republicans were also on board and supportive of it. i talked, for example, with congressman andy bigg
not been the charm for kevin mccarthy. you see the tally on the screen. we are waiting any minute for this vote to officially be closed, and then the question is what happens next? do they try for time number six? where unless something has dramatically changed and we don t think it has, mccarthy will probably lose again. do they try to take a break? what are the concessions that are happening behind the scenes? we have the best team in the biz, here to answer the questions to the best of their abilities including capitol hill correspondent ali vitali and political director and moderator of meet the press, chuck todd, nbc news colleague, and steve kornacki is posted at the big board and former chief communications adviser to former speaker paul ryan and msnbc political analyst brendan buck is with us, too. if you re looking at this saying, okay, i ve been watching this coverage for six hours. what has changed? what is different? what is going to change the moment? here is w
buck? buck? bucshon? mccarthy. budzinski? jeffries. burchett? mccarthy. burgess? mccarthy. burlison? mccarthy. bush? jeffries. calvert? mccarthy. caraveo? jeffries. carbajal? jeffries. mccarthy. carl? mccarthy. carson? jeffries. carter of georgia? mccarthy. carter of louisiana? jeffries. carter of texas? mccarthy. casar? jeffries. case? jeffries. casten? jeffries. castor of florida? jeffries. castro of cicilline? jeffries. ciscomani? mccarthy. clark of massachusetts? jeffries. clarke of new mccarthy. comer? mccarthy. connolly? so we are waiting for the vote for michael cloud because potentially if he did decide not to vote for kevin mccarthy, that would have put them over the threshold but now we are waiting for andrew clyde. we have the fifth ballot for speaker and the fifth ballot that seems to be moving in the same direction as the first four? exactly. it was 21 on the last ballot. 21 republicans who did not vote for mccarthy. 20 voted for donalds. one voted present. a
